Q. What is a Performance Team?
A. Performance teams are open everyone and these classes give salsa students
·- Advanced training in spins, style, technique, and timing
·- Professional choreography
·- A chance to perform in front of large audiences
·- Opportunity to gain experience and have fun without any obligations

Q. How does this benefit me?
A. The training you will receive from these classes gives you the extra knowledge to take your salsa to a higher level. Instead of just learning a few steps and a new combination each week, you will learn how to put it all together.

Choreography will teach you how to place styling into your salsa, how to really feel the music, recognize the beat, how to properly lead/follow, and above all: how to retain it all this knowledge without forgetting each week! If you are serious about learning to dance and you want to become more involved with the Memphis salsa community, then these are the classes for you!

Q.How is that different from a dance company?
A.You will receive the same training that helped the members of the Salsa Memphis Dance Company stand out amongst other salsa dancers but without any obligations to practice, perform, etc.

Q. When and where do we perform?
A. Once the performance team masters the choreography, they will have opportunity to perform in Memphis all around town at local events, clubs, fundraisers, festivals, and on television! Trust me, I'll make you famous!

Q. I have stage fright!! Do I have to perform?
A. No. You may take the performance classes just for the advance training. There is no obligation to perform in front of large audiences screaming your name, but I think you will be missing out on all the fun!

Q. Should I stop taking weekly classes?
A. No. Weekly salsa classes teach you new combinations, styling, footwork, tricks, and technique each week. I encourage you to learn as much as you can. Members of the performance teams get a 50% discount on all classes and a discount on private lessons.

Q. How do I sign up?
A. Contact Edgar Mendez at 901-484-6999.

Q. How do I know what level I am?
A. Be honest with yourself how you dance with others. Can you lead or follow your partner effectively? Do you feel the music? Do you understand the beat? Do you blank out when the music starts? Remember! Just because you have been taking a few salsa classes does not mean you are an advanced dancer. Its not the amount of classes taken that counts, its how well you have learned.
